125 Wickedly Fun Ways to Test the Laws of Physics!
Now you can prove your knowledge of physics without expending a lot of energy. 125 Physics Projects for the Evil Genius is filled with hands-on explorations into key areas of this fascinating field. Best of all, these experiments can be performed without a formal lab, a large budget, or years of technical experience!
Using easy-to-find parts and tools, this do-it-yourself guide offers a wide variety of physics experiments you can accomplish on your own. Topics covered include motion, gravity, energy, sound, light, heat, electricity, and more. Each of the projects in this unique guide includes parameters, a detailed methodology, expected results, and an explanation of why the experiment works. 125 Physics Projects for the Evil Genius:
- Features step-by-step instructions for 125 challenging and fun physics experiments, complete with helpful illustrations
- Allows you to customize each experiment for your purposes
- Includes details on the underlying principles behind each experiment
- Removes the frustration factor--all required parts are listed, along with sources
125 Physics Projects for the Evil Genius provides you with all of the information you need to demonstrate:
- Constant velocity
- Circular motion and centripetal force
- Gravitational acceleration
- Newton's laws of motion
- Energy and momentum
- The wave properties of sound
- Refraction, reflection, and the speed of light
- Thermal expansion and absolute zero
- Electrostatic force, resistance, and magnetic levitation

Format:Paperback
It's a good experimental physics book, but it's not what the title suggests it to be. It's not about building odd or interesting contraptions, rather experimenting with physics laws in an experimental way. Perfect for the teacher wanting to spice up his class experience; not quite for the amateur scientist looking to experiment with high-voltage, communications and electronics.

Making science FUN!
30 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In keeping with their theme, the creators of the Evil Genius books have again come up with many different ways to make science FUN!!! My son spends a lot of his free time reading and experimenting or building out of these books and it never feels to him like he's doing schoolwork. If you have other books from this series, then this is a must add for your collection. If you have never delved into this series of books yet, then start now!

LAME. Should have looked at the Google Books preview
22 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm pretty sure the projects done by evil geniuses are...awesome/mind-blowing, not boring and for lack of a better term...lame. When I think "project", I think, something you build...not something you have to buy. The title should be, "125 mostly ho hum physics demos".
